Willem wrote this doc in 2013, before we finally went back to 1000.

We should update this doc.

And these too:

$ egrep -r netdev_max_backlog Documentation/networking/
Documentation/networking//cxgb.txt:      sysctl -w
net.core.netdev_max_backlog=300000
Documentation/networking//ixgb.txt:net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 300000

Yes, whoever wrote this had no idea of the implications I guess.
